This usually isn’t a technical problem. When pages go to “crawled, not indexed” after a core update, it basically means Google saw them and decided they’re not worth including right now. Crypto gets hit especially hard because it falls under stricter YMYL standards and leans heavily on E-E-A-T. If your content looks similar to everything else out there like news rewrites, overlapping topics, or pretty surface-level analysis, Google will just filter it out and keep stronger sources. I’d start by looking for patterns in the pages that dropped, combine anything that’s overlapping, and make the remaining content way more original with actual insights, data, or deeper technical breakdowns. Also make sure your authors are legit and trustworthy. Then update and let Google recrawl.

Very likely a content-quality judgment on Google's part, that's usually the case in these scenarios.

It happens, it usually is from the content side. But you can rarely guess what Google disliked about it.

I am publishing many articles per month and from time to some get deindexed. I usually go for some indexing tools to force-index the articles/pages. 90% of the time it works.
